the extent of my eating for the day:
1 in-n-out burger, animal style.
1 diddy riese ice cream sandwich, cinnamon/sugar cookie, peanut butter cookie, twix ice cream.
through the rest of the week, i also had diner food, a pink's millenium dog, and various disney foods.
i don't want to eat anything else ever again for fear that i will forget how good LA food tastes.
i've gotten very little sleep over this minivacation, and it feels great. i've seen several great movies as well. i'm back home with an amazing stack of memories and CDs. i am good to go another 2 rounds.
and just so my entry isn't without an anecdote, i was mere seconds from missing my flight home, due to above foods calling my name.i got there not early enough for the massive line at the checkin counter. thankfully i had a good natured clerk, and she gave me a pass to bypass the 40 minute line at airport security.
awesome, i didn't even know those things existed.
so i walk up to the armed guard and he asks if i work there, pointing at my trendy as hell mechanic shirt that i wear as a mandatory portland uniform.
"nope, i'm just cool like that."
i run down the terminal and catch them right before they close the airlock, doing a quick tradeoff for a boarding pass. they apparently gave away my window seat, but there just happened to be one seat open at the very back of the full flight.
so i got to sit next to a genuine teenage retard. i couldn't tell you any specifics, but it was definitely well past down's syndrome. two hours of this kid sitting next to his dad, yelling "YOU WANNA DONUT?", his dad saying "no", then the kid punching him, shouting "HURTS, DONUT!", giggling maniacally, then the father saying he had done it enough times. again.
that flight was almost as fun as the one i got sat next to two televangelists. i was reading a book on physics, and got a thorough berating because "SCIIIIIENCE DENOUNCES THE TRUUUUTH OF OWERR LOOOOOOORRRR-DAH" i got handed a small fortune in chick tracts and pamphlets and used them as bookmarks for said book.

There are a few more pics of that rare combination of folks, but I figured more would just be needlessly repetitive.
edited to add one more pic.
